Jersey AHGP home on the web. My name is Judy White and with the
help of Susan Dorris will be
taking care of this site until a new State Coordinator steps
forward!! Things will stay pretty much the same as they were,
except we will add new information, new county coordinators and
needed repairs.

Genealogy Village. If you are
in need of FREE space for a genealogy site, I am sure you will
be welcomed.

The seat of government is Trenton, at
the head of sloop navigation on the Delaware, 30 miles above
Philadelphia.

The northern part of this state is mountainous, being crossed by
a branch of the Alleghany ridge; the middle portion of the state
is agreeably diversified by hills and valleys; while the
southern part is level and sandy. This portion of the state is
to a great extent barren, as the natural growth of the soil is
little else but shrub oaks and yellow pines. It is susceptible
of being made very productive by the use of marl, which is
extensively found. The remainder of the state has a good soil,
well adapted to grazing, and producing wheat, rye, Indian corn,

raised, and large quantities of butter and cheese are produced.

are wheat, flour, horses, cattle, hams, cider, lumber, flax
